Come hear about the Martz Lab development work on a new data acquisition system using ARM processors.  They have a near-final revision of a working controller based on an ARM Cortex-M4.

A number of groups are looking forward or are already working with ARM processors as a replacement for the ubiquitous Persistor CF2.  There are plans to put together a repository to share electronic designs and code across Scripps.  The Scripps Webgroup is currently testing a commercial GitHub from Atlassian (Stash, bitbucket.org is the hosted version of this).  …

Derek Inglis, P.Eng, MBA, Xeos Technologies, Inc.

Remote areas of the earth are interesting places to study science but getting information back from remote sites can be challenging for many reasons.  Remote sites are often unattended and hard to revisit once equipment is installed.  The environment can range from extreme heat to extreme cold.  Equipment can be under snow or under water.  Satellite telemetry plays a vital role in getting data back from these remote sites.  Derek will give an overview of real world examples of…
